Hi all. Thinking of buying a Renault captur 2017. Just wondering what they are like ? Good or bad ? And weather the parts are expensive or not ? Just general information and thoughts would be amazing. Thankyou.

Hi Mellissa. I bought mine at the end of 2015. Just had its 5 year service today. Apart from an aircon problem where they had to replace the compressor (under warranty), the car has been faultless. Great fuel economy. Back in January I drove from the central coast just north of Sydney, to Brisbane, on one tank of petrol. I had a Toyota Aurion prior to and I can get more load space in my Captur than I could in the Aurion

Thankyou... what does a service cost ? And what are the parts like.. easy to get hold of? Cheap or expensive? How many kilometres are on your car ?

Hi .. I'll go with positives first. Good peppy little car. Looks stylish, Day time running lights and automatic at that. Negatives: Poor quality plastics: Eg: When you open the door, Gear knob silver piece. You got to drive in non Eco mode to have any kinda acceleration. At night, no illumination on the dashboard or Steering stalks can get annoying. Lack of storage spots inside the car .. overall okay car.

I've had my capture since 2016. I have had no problems with it. The servicing has been reasonably priced and I have had no issues with the air con or any other parts..

Hi everyone We are thinking of buying a used 2015 Renault Captur but we’re just wondering what it was like on parts if we needed parts at any stage? Are the parts for the vehicle cheap? And is it easy enough to get parts in Western Australia? Thanks Rachel

Hi Rachel. My CAptur is still under warranty but they had to replace the air con compressor and it was available ex stock

Hi Rachel, most common parts would be readily available if needed. Parts that are rare to be replaced will have to come from France. Normally it's a 2 week time period for a critical part. You can always look to source parts from other capturs that have been written off etc but their sample size in Aus/WA would be lesser than let’s say a common car like a Corolla

The auto has no power for taking off around roundabouts How do people do to overcome this problem

Stephen 6y

Hi Helen, its something you have to factor in to your driving. No engineered solution. I understand where you are coming from, you put your foot on the accelerator and there is no response immediately. I have been driving the Renault Captur now for 4 years and you just have to compensate for the lack of immediate power

Helen P. 6y

Thank you for you answer I will be getting rid of it before I get killed at a roundabout Differently dangerous

This was the problem when I first purchased my Renault. Many modern vehicles have the start stop function to save on emissions and fuel. You can deactivate this function if you wish; check on YouTube. I have found releasing my foot off the break pedal and slightly depressing the Excelerator brings the engine back on and I have had no problem since. Good luck. I love my Renault! Ring your dealer and I’m sure they would also help you.
